We all long for the grace of God to abound in our lives. Yet grace is more than forgiveness alone. Grace calls us to repentance—a reorientation of our lives to seek God's will above every other pursuit. Join us as we explore how God's grace and repentance work hand in hand.Support the show

In this inaugural episode of the new series "Kingdom Now," Pastor Karl introduces an in-depth journey through the Gospel of Matthew. Titled after Jesus's prayer in Matthew 6, "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven," this series explores the unique perspective of Matthew's Gospel, emphasizing the kingdom of God in an upside-down way that challenges expectations. Pastor Karl sets the stage by providing background on the four Gospels, highlighting Matthew's distinct focus on Jesus as the royal Messiah from the line of David, written specifically for a Jewish audience. He delves into Matthew's identity as a former tax collector, illustrating how Jesus transformed his life, changing his identity and direction. Through Matthew's story, Pastor Karl introduces the discipleship process of "belong, become, give, and go," encouraging listeners to reflect on their own spiritual journey. The episode focuses on Matthew 1:1-17, exploring Jesus's genealogy and its purposeful inclusion of unexpected figures, reinforcing the message that when God writes the story, nothing is a mistake. Join us as we begin this transformative study, learning how God uses broken backgrounds for His kingdom purposes. Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

We often pray for miracles—asking God to provide, heal, and care for our most pressing needs. Sometimes prayers are answered; other times we wonder if God hears us. So, what are miracles really for? The book of Acts shows they have a dual purpose: to bless us and, more importantly, to bear witness to outsiders and invite them to faith in Jesus.Support the show

On this episode of Let's Try This Again, I sit down with Jalyka —a true creative, singer, and trailblazer—who radiates authenticity both online and in person. We talk about stepping into a new era, owning our uniqueness, and boldly loving God even when it's countercultural. From being homeschooled and learning to grow “wild and free,” to facing criticism about modesty and body image as a Christian influencer, Jalyka shares how she navigates conviction versus shame, and how faith, contentment, and gratitude transformed her journey. We get into the struggles with procrastination, stepping into obedience, and why “growing in public” is a calling instead of a choice. Whether we're laughing about DIY nails or getting real on spiritual growth, this episode is filled with gems for anyone who sometimes feels out of place or uncertain.If you felt encouraged by this episode, subscribe and leave a review—then share it with someone who needs a reminder that they're never alone on this journey.

In this episode, Dave takes on one of the biggest challenges Christian men face today: compromise. What happens when we trade our integrity for comfort? We live in a world that rewards convenience, but God calls us to conviction. Every time we lower our standard, something sacred is lost - our witness, our credibility, our peace. Listen in as Dave unpacks how to identify compromise, count its cost, and take steps to rebuild a life of integrity and strength.

What are the essentials of the Christian faith for spiritual growth? The Book of Acts gives us a snapshot of how the early church lived. While we've added many elements to our liturgies and structures over the millennia, it's important to remember the core practices that make the church the church. Not only is this refreshingly simple, it also invites participation from anyone who has faith. Join us this week as we explore four essentials of the church and how you can take part.Support the show

In this powerful and sobering episode, we reflect on the recent deaths of Charlie Kirk and Pastor Voddie Baucham — two bold men who shaped our generation and challenged Christian men to stand firm in truth. Their sudden passing reminds us of life's fragility and the urgent call to live faithfully, boldly, and ready. What does it mean to be “ready” in our time? Spiritually, morally, practically, and missionally? This episode challenges Christian men to confront their mortality, examine their legacy, and rise to the calling God has placed on their lives.

A Conversation with Special Guest: Andrew Osenga I first met Andrew Osenga earlier this year at a retreat I was attending.  I walked up to him and asked, "How do you feel about Jesus' beatitudes?"  His ecstatic response led to an on-the-spot invitation to come to The Table. Andrew is a prolific creator.  He's a singer-songwriter who has released 3 albums that I know of within the last year.  He's an Indie artist, Major label Bandmember, Record Producer, Guitar Player, Label Executive, and a Nashville veteran in almost all areas of the music business.  He is also the Host of one of my top 10 favorite podcasts - The Pivot which returns sometime next week after a 5-year hiatus - and he has a brand new book coming out tomorrow, October 7, entitled How to Remember: Forgotten Pathways to an Authentic Faith. Andrew and I recorded this conversation early in September and immediately I was drawn in because we were talking about subjects that we both are passionate about, including Jesus' beatitudes, the music of Rich Mullins, and podcasts, among other things.  Come join us.  There's a place setting with your name on it. https://www.andrewosenga.com https://www.andrewosenga.com/substack-1 Featuring "The Love of Jesus" by Andrew Osenga (Used by Permission).

The early church was unique because the Holy Spirit was given to all believers—not just a select few—to strengthen the church and share Jesus with the world. That's still true today: you have a place in God's story. Join us this week as we discover how God calls us to serve Him.Support the show

The post Authentic Faith. 1 Thessalonians 1: 1-10 appeared first on Welbeck Road Evangelical Church.

The Book of Acts is filled with familiar leaders—Peter, John, and Paul, to name a few. Yet the real heart of the Christian story is not the famous names, but the countless, unseen voices who carried the movement forward. Free and slave, Greek and Jew, men and women—everyone who believed in Jesus was welcomed into God's family. This radical inclusion—bringing every believer into the fold—changed the course of history. And the same is true today: wherever you are in life, you have a place and a role in God's story. Join us as we continue our study of Acts.Support the show

God blesses us with the Holy Spirit, bringing forgiveness, purpose, and joy that helps us love others. His blessing isn't for us to keep, but to share. This week, we explore how Pentecost displayed God's Presence and instantly propelled the gospel to thousands outside the church. Support the show

Listen in as he talks through some of the points of his new book "Tame Your Thoughts: Three Tools to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life."

If you've ever felt like your quiet time is a bit of a snooze fest or wondered why traditional methods of spirituality don't quite resonate, you're definitely not alone! In this final episode of our 3-part series with Cheryl Weaver, we'll talk about how embracing our individual “spiritual personalities” (aka temperaments) can lead to a more vibrant, authentic faith experience. Cheryl shares her journey of discovering her own spiritual style and the freedom that comes from recognizing that there isn't just one “right” way to connect with God.Episode HighlightsHow spiritual temperaments can transform our relationship with God, making it more personal and authentic.Understanding your unique spiritual temperament is key to connecting with God in ways that resonate with you.Diverse ways of worshiping God should be celebrated, not shamed or compared.Practical tools and encouragement to help listeners explore their distinct paths to spiritual fulfillment.The importance of body awareness in spiritual practices, linking physical experiences with divine connection.Resources MentionedSacred Pathways: Nine Ways to Connect with God by Gary ThomasWhat's Your God Language?: Connecting with God through Your Unique Spiritual Temperament by Myra PerrineCedar Rock Ministries Related Episodes / You Might Also LikeEP 25 - Enneagram Basics & ResourcesEP 38 - Embracing Authenticity: How's All That Working for Ya?EP 45 - Finding Your Natural Prayer Style with Janet McHenryEP 47 - How to Study the Bible with Liz CoboEP 66 - Faith-Based Body Awareness for Overwhelmed Women with Cheryl Weaver EP 67 - Spiritual Direction 101: How to Tune In and Trust God's Lead with Cheryl WeaverConnect with CherylEmail: Cheryl@CedarRockMinistries.comConnect with RachelWebsite: racheldbaker.comInstagram: @rachel.d.baker Email: rachel@racheldbaker.comIt means so much to me that you are part of this community!

The gap between knowing and living, between religious performance and authentic faith—this is where many of us find ourselves today. In this challenging and heartfelt message, Stephen Feith opens a new six-week series with a question that hits close to home: "Have you ever done the right thing for the wrong reasons?"Drawing from Matthew 23, Stephen examines why the Pharisees—people who believed in Scripture, the Messiah, and resurrection—completely missed Jesus when he stood right in front of them. Their failure wasn't a lack of knowledge or even wrong practices; it was that they had substituted the appearance of righteousness for actual transformation.The parallels to our modern spiritual experience are striking. We live in an age saturated with biblical knowledge and spiritual content. We know how to look and sound spiritual. Yet as Stephen powerfully puts it, "We are educated beyond our obedience." We know far more about God than we're willing to live out.Jesus uses startling imagery like whitewashed tombs to illustrate this spiritual danger—appearing beautiful externally while harboring death within. This isn't just about personal hypocrisy; it's about how our focus on appearances rather than transformation can actually contaminate those closest to us.But this message isn't about condemnation. After his strong rebukes, Jesus shifts to a maternal image of longing: "How often I've wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks." His desire isn't to shame us but to free us, not to punish but to gather us in love.Whether you're exploring faith, returning to it, or consider yourself spiritually mature, this message offers a powerful invitation to move beyond spiritual performance to spiritual surrender. Because Jesus didn't die so we could learn the correct answers—he died to give us new hearts.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, consider subscribing to Madison Church on your favorite podcast platform.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Chuck Peter from Roseville, MN. Thank you for standing with us throughout Project 23. You're helping people move from the appearance of faith to the fruit of it. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 11:12-14: On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it. — Mark 11:12-14 At first glance, this seems like one of the most confusing moments in the Gospels. Jesus is hungry. He sees a fig tree full of leaves, promising the possibility of fruit. But when he gets close, there's nothing. So he curses it. Why? Because it looked fruitful from a distance, but had nothing to offer up close. This wasn't just about a tree. It was a parable in real time. An enacted warning. Jesus was making a point about empty religion. You see, the fig tree had the appearance of being healthy and vital. But no fruit. Just like the temple he was about to walk into. The temple was full of religious activity, rituals, and noise, but no repentance. No faith. No spiritual nourishment. It was all leaves, no fruit. Jesus sees through the façade. And he still does. From a distance, your life could look spiritual. Church attendance. Polite behavior. Christian language. Even Bible reading. But up close and intimate, does your life bear real fruit? Jesus doesn't curse the fig tree out of irritation. He curses it to make a statement. He's not fooled by appearances. Neither is he interested in performance that has no power behind it. So, stop focusing on looking spiritual. Start cultivating what actually matters—humility, repentance, love, truth, obedience, surrender. Because Jesus doesn't just want your leaves. He wants your life. And he wants it to be full of fruit. #RealFaith, #SpiritualFruit, #Mark11 ASK THIS: Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? What's the danger of outward appearances without spiritual depth? Where in your life are you tempted to “fake” fruit? What does real spiritual fruit look like for you this season? DO THIS: Ask someone who knows you well: “What kind of fruit do you see in my life?” And really listen. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I don't want to just look the part. I want to bear real fruit. Expose anything in me that's all appearance and no substance. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Clear the Stage” by Jimmy Needham.

In this powerful exploration of authenticity, we're challenged to embrace our true selves as God created us. The message from Ryan Kresge centers on Romans 7, where Paul bares his soul, admitting his ongoing struggles with sin.This raw honesty reminds us that even spiritual giants face internal battles, and it's through acknowledging our weaknesses that Christ's power is made perfect. We're encouraged to stop hiding behind facades and instead risk vulnerability, especially in our closest relationships.The sermon draws parallels between physical healing and spiritual growth, emphasizing that just as wounds need exposure to light and air to heal, our souls need exposure to God's light and the support of trusted companions to truly flourish.This message invites us to consider: Are we living authentically in all areas of our lives, or are we still hiding parts of ourselves from God and others?Website: https://www.impact.church

Authentic Christianity is more than just agreeing with doctrine or avoiding sin; it is a transformed life marked by obedience, radical love, and abiding in Christ. Only through His power in us, can we overcome the pull of the world and live with our eyes fixed on eternity.

Authentic Faith: Saying Yes Like Mary, Living Yes Like Christ Today's Gospel centers on Jesus' teaching from the Sermon on the Mount: “Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no.” The Homily explores the simplicity and integrity behind this command, contrasting it with human tendencies toward exaggeration, performance, and overpromising . . . especially in spiritual life. Using Mary's simple response to the angel Gabriel as a model, the Homily emphasizes that God desires authentic faithfulness, not dramatic or self-centered declarations. Baptism itself is built on a series of direct “no's” (to sin and evil) and “yeses” (to faith in God), illustrating the foundational role of clarity and sincerity in the Christian life. The Homily also draws attention to the constancy of God's Yes . . . embodied in Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh . . . who remains ever faithful. We are encouraged to rely not on their own fluctuating strength, but on Christ's steadfast presence and grace. Ultimately, we are called to live out our yes and our no simply and truthfully, anchored in God's eternal Yes to us. Listen to: Authentic Faith: Saying Yes Like Mary, Living Yes Like Christ --------------------------------------------------------------------- A Quote from the Homily And certain truth, the anchor of my hope, the anchor of my life, the anchor of my salvation is the yes, the eternal yes of Jesus Christ. The word made flesh and how do I claim it and cling to it? The Lord gives me a very simple answer. Let your yes be real. Don't worry about justifying it. Just be about living it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- One of Several Our Lady of Victory Statues at the OLV Basilica and National Shrine, Buffalo, NY. 1926 The white nine feet version on top of the main altar, which is made of marble, was blessed by Pope Pius XI prior to its shipment to NY. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: Matthew 5: 33-37 First Reading: 2 Corinthians 5: 14-21
